    ** I am looking for a [power] adapter for Craftsman cordless drill – model 973.225400. **

    According to Sears that item is part # 1421414 but discontinued.

    Your model however looks to have been made for Sears by Ryobi so check with a Ryobi dealer to see if there is an equivalent that will work with yours.

    ** Need thermostat [for] larger of two wall-mount ovens [Frigidaire model number RBGH345]. Unable to source part **

    The oven thermostat for that oven model part # 5307526435 (original # 07526435) has been discontinued and is no longer available.

    Depending on whom manufactured the actual thermostat in the oven, the original *might* (just a slim chance) be able to be sent away to be rebuilt.

    Alternately, both ovens are suppose to use the same thermostat so they might be able to be swapped if you mainly use the oven that is currently malfunctioning and don’t care about the other’s operation.

    ** Frigidaire says no luck on model number **

    You actually contacted Frigidaire?? Although an older model (1964) Frigidaire (or one of their parts or service depots) should have been able to look up parts for it to check on availability.

    ** [after] clean cycle my jenn air oven the door is now stuck, locked. I’ve cycled it and cooled it several times. Still locked. Even shutting off the power didn’t help. Any suggestions? **

    If what you’ve tried didn’t unlock the door, there may be a problem with the locking mechanism that will need to be looked into. There is nothing else simple to try.

    – After self cleaning the range the oven door won’t open. What might be the problem?

    in reply to: dishwasher taking forever #307089
    DanO
    Participant

    ** Does anyone know why my dishwasher takes forever to go through a cycle? I think it has to do with the water not being hot enough. **

    How hot is the hot water at a nearby tap?

    How hot is the water in the machine after a fill?

    Dishwasher manufacturers suggest the fill water temperature be 120-140°F. If your water heater is set lower than that or you don’t run a sink tap until fully hot before starting the dishwasher, the dishwasher will fill with too cool of water and the control will delay the timing at several points during the cycle (called ‘thermal holds’) to heat the water.

    Some higher end machines will also delay the wash cycle if the water in the dishwasher is dirty. On such models poor draining can result in extended wash cycles.

    ** Anyone experienced this? **

    Many people experience long wash times due to water temperature. It is a common complaint which can usually be minimized by adjusting the use of the dishwasher (ie. running a sink tap until hot before starting the dishwasher).

    ** GE GSS25LGMAWW refrigerator. water recently stopped coming out [the door dispenser] altogether. **

    ** Any ideas of where to begin to troubleshoot this issue? **

    Possibilities include:

    1. Water reservoir tank in the fridge compartment frozen.

    ** frigidiaire washing machine **

    I’m afraid that is not enough information to identify the appliance in question. What is needed is its exact model number. If you post it we can look it up to see what appliance design you’re dealing with.

    You can find tips for locating the model and serial number identification tag on your appliances at the following link:

    ** When it goes into a spin cycle it makes a screaming sound. I dont know if its the belt or tranmission. **

    If this is a top loading washer model, the belt *might* make such a sound but would be pretty rare. It could be from the transmission’s bearing or even possibly something caught between the tubs.

    Someone will likely need to try to ascertain exactly where on the machine the sound in originating from before we can suggest a cause or course of action.

    BTW. Continued use in such a condition could lead to additional damage to the machine. I would suggest you discontinue use until it can be looked into and corrected.

    ** The defrost heater, when unplugged at both ends, has a reading of 30 Ohm, so I assume it is working. I also saw the unit [heat] **

    Yes, I would say the heater is probably good.

    ** when you plug them on to the evap fan, the white wire now reads 120V (sometimes 85V) to the ground, the blue still reads 120V. **

    I would assume that is because the fan motor is acting to complete the circuit from the hot wire (blue) to the neutral (white) through the motor’s coil.

    ** However, when I unplug the white wire and connect the ground wire to the fan (at the connector for the white wire), the fan runs. **

    That to me would mean the neutral line is ‘dropping out’. There may be a loose connection in one of the terminal blocks or connectors the white wire is connected through. Someone should inspect them.

    in reply to: evaporator fan in frig not working #307019
    DanO
    Participant

    ** The evaportor fan in Amana TH21TW frig does not work. … the fan runs fine when supplied with 110 V AC **

    Than the problem is in the electrical circuit to the motor.

    ** When the [defrost] thermostat is by-passed, the fan still does not run. **

    That should rule it out as a possible culprit.

    On models where the evaporator fan is connected though the defrost thermostat the defrost heater has to be good in order for the motor to receive power.

    1. The OP never said it was a Range/Stove/Oven

    2. The page you linked to says, “We matched some of the search phrase you used, but not all of it. We are showing results for the portion that matched.”

    3. When searching there for just the appliance’s model number (MPOD632ARG3) the results page says, “Your search did not match any products.”

    The search results you linked to are likely just for Westinghouse Range/Stove/Ovens and not necessarily the OP’s machine.

    I did a quick Internet search for the OP’s model number and I only got partial hits at Australian web sites. If this is an Australian appliance, I am not familiar with them at all (and the Repair Clinic site will not likely have any parts for it either).

    ** Kenmore dryer model 110.96272100 became very noisy. **

    What kind of noise exactly? Squeaking, squealing, thumping, etc.??

    ** the plastic part on the motor that the idler pulley wheel rests on feels rough. Can that be replaced? **

    I’m not sure what you’re describing. The idler pulley has its own bracket that clips onto the base of the dryer. It shouldn’t touch the motor.

    Isn’t it in two pieces? Try looking at the half that is still in place. Failing that, you can see a video of its installation at the following link:

    I’m afraid that is not enough information to identify the appliance in question. What is needed is its exact model number, 106 is only the very start of it. If you post the complete information we can at least look it up to see what appliance design you’re dealing with.

    ** water dispenser on our 9 year-old side by side just “quit,” although the ice dispenser still works. **

    ** How can I repair it? **

    Someone will have to try to find out the cause. Once that is determined we may be able to offer suggestions on how to correct it.

    For just the water dispenser n/w, possible causes include a frozen water reservoir in the fridge compartment, a failed water fill valve on the back of the fridge and a problem in the dispenser mechanism on the door.
